Life After Bariatric Surgery
What Bariatric Surgery Actually Changes

for long-term weight loss and reversal of obesity-related diseases.
What Our Patient Says
I had hyperthyroidism and had reached 84 kgs. I was trying everything… exercising, dieting, but somehow, instead of losing weight, I kept gaining. It was exhausting. My dietitian told me to speak to Dr. Sudhir. I stay in Nagpur, so I first met a local doctor. But something just didn’t feel right. So I decided to try a video consultation with Dr. Sudhir. That one call gave me a kind of confidence I hadn’t felt in months. When I met him in person at his clinic, I was sure I had come to the right place. He just listened carefully and explained everything in such a simple way, like he actually wanted me to understand. And not once did I feel any kind of pressure whatsoever, so I felt safe. Before the surgery, I was nervous. But Dr. Sudhir came and spoke to me, and made me feel calm. Even after the surgery, he was there for every follow-up, every nutrition discussion, and even when I felt emotionally low, he supported me. It’s been a year now. I’ve come down to 56 kgs. My thyroid issue is gone. I have more energy. I was always a bit of an introvert before and avoided gatherings, but now I feel more confident. I like to go out and be social, so this is another big positive change. All thanks to Dr. Sudhir.
I was visited for weight loss Dr. Sudhir Jadhav is an outstanding doctor very friendly nature due to this easy to talk with him. Under his consultancy went through bariatric surgery and all the treatment was done very smoothly. He is a doctor who very helping and supportable. He defined all our doubts on the first visit and described the procedure about surgery. The surgery and entire process went very well and Dr. Sudhir took almost special care during my stay in the hospital. Thank you Dr.Sudhir for all your guidance and treatment.
Dr. Sudhir Jadhav is an excellent Doctor. He was very considerate towards me throughout my Umbilical Hernia Repair Surgery. Post surgery to he encouraged me to move which helped me recover faster. The doctor responded to all my queries with patience. He is the best Bariatric Surgeon in Pune I genuinely thank You, Doctor, and wish you All the Best.
I was sceptical about laparoscopy surgery for my unilateral inguinal hernia due to some misleading feedback on the Internet. Dr. Sudhir Jadhav was very patient in explaining the pros and cons and also the advanced TEP laparoscopy in which he practices and how this method is in a different level so no chance of risk to any organ damage during operation. My surgery was completed satisfactorily with minimal pain and simply any post-operative issues. I am very happy that I went to Columbia Asia and got my surgery done by Dr. Sudhir Jadhav who is not only an excellent surgeon but a very kind and an amazing person. Now I can again go back to my active lifestyle which was slowing down because of this hernia as my movements were slowly reducing due to pain etc. Thank you so much, Doctor.
“I got a new life…” I was 102 kgs, struggling with high cholesterol, fatty liver, joint pain, high sugar and honestly, I felt tired all the time. I had read about bariatric surgery, watched videos, checked Google reviews… I even met other surgeons. But I couldn’t decide. Something was holding me back, maybe fear or confusion. But when I met Dr. Sudhir, I made my decision in the first meeting. He didn’t rush, he heard me out properly, and explained everything in a way that made sense, even the things I didn’t know I needed to hear. He also helped me understand how the insurance part would work, which was a big relief. I was discharged in 3 days, everything was smooth and yes, insurance covered it all.
Now I’ve lost 20 kgs. But more importantly, I’m free from all medications. My sugar and cholesterol are normal, my knees don’t hurt anymore. My body feels light and energetic.
Seriously, it feels like I got a new life.
Why Bariatric Surgery May Be the Right Step
When Diet and Exercise Aren’t Enough
In severe or long-standing obesity, your body develops a biological resistance to weight loss.
So, it’s not about your willpower. It’s about how your system is wired.
Here’s why traditional methods often don’t work.
Your Metabolism Slows Down
As you lose weight, your body burns fewer calories to “protect” itself — a process called adaptive thermogenesis. That’s why people often say, “I’m doing everything right and still not losing weight.
Hunger Hormones Rise
After weight loss, hunger hormones like ghrelin increase, and fullness hormones like leptin decrease, making you hungrier and pushing you to eat more. It’s not about control — it’s biology.
Fat Cells Remember Your Heaviest Weight
Fat cells shrink with weight loss, but don’t disappear. They stay metabolically active, sending signals to regain fat and pushing your body back toward its old weight.
Exercise Isn’t Enough
Exercise is great for health, but your body adapts by burning fewer calories over time. Hunger increases after workouts, and conditions like joint pain or fatigue make consistency difficult.
Intermittent Fasting May Backfire
For people with diabetes, PCOS, or insulin resistance, fasting can trigger blood sugar crashes, cortisol spikes, and binge eating. Instead of burning fat, your body stays in fat-storing mode.
The Weight Often Comes Back
Only about 5% of people with BMI > 35 keep the weight off with lifestyle changes alone. Not because they didn’t try but because their biology pulls them back to a higher set point.
How Bariatric Surgery Helps — Beyond Just Weight Loss
Bariatric surgery doesn’t just shrink your stomach, it rewires how your body handles food, hunger,
hormones, and sugar. Here’s what really changes inside your body after surgery:
Procedures like sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass reduce the size of your stomach, so you feel full after eating much less. This resets your body’s comfortable meal size, without needing to rely on willpower.
Bariatric surgery changes the release of key gut hormones:
Ghrelin (hunger hormone) drops, so cravings and constant hunger reduce.
GLP-1 and PYY rise, helping you feel full faster and stay full longer.
Food moves more quickly to the part of the gut that signals satiety.
You think about food less, feel satisfied sooner, and make better food choices effortlessly.
Even before you lose much weight, bypass surgery helps normalise blood sugar. Here’s how:
Gut hormones like GLP-1 and GIP rise, helping your pancreas produce more insulin.
Your body becomes more sensitive to insulin, lowering blood sugar levels naturally.
Bypassing the upper intestine (duodenum) reduces signals that promote insulin resistance.
Result: Many patients with type 2 diabetes see major improvement or even remission within days of surgery.
Most patients lose 60–80% of their excess weight and keep it off for years. Because the surgery changes:
How your body handles hunger
How your metabolism works
Your weight “set point”
Result: You don’t just lose weight — your body stops fighting to regain it.
Bariatric Surgery Helps Heal
Your Body From The Inside Out
Obesity isn’t just about weight, it impacts nearly every organ system.
Bariatric surgery improves or even reverses many obesity-related medical conditions
by changing the way your body stores fat, processes sugar, and regulates hormones.

High Cholesterol & Triglycerides
Sleep Apnea
Joint Pain & Osteoarthritis
PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)
